Performance Quotes

It’s fine to have talent, but talent is the last of it. In an acting career, as in an acting performance, you’ve got to have vitality. The secret of successful acting is identical with a woman’s beauty secret: joy in living Picture Quote #1

I think that if an audience is truly appreciative of a performance, they will show it. Sometimes though, there are little differences, and there are audiences that are very reserved even though they are enjoying the show Picture Quote #1

Positive reinforcement generates more behavior than is minimally required. We call this discretionary effort, and its presence in the workplace is the only way an organization can maximize performance Picture Quote #1

It was an extraterrestrial performance. It is very special to go below 4:50, but I believe I can do better Picture Quote #1

We must promote solid traits such as work ethics, a dignified lifestyle, matching actions to rhetoric, performance rather than grandstanding Picture Quote #1

Everybody uses mime and gesture in real life, though we don’t realize it. It’s very useful as a performance technique, though it can be boring to watch on its own Picture Quote #1

I learned a long time ago that one way to maximize potential for performance is to be calm in my mind. What I try to achieve during the season is a relaxed state of concentration. I simply try to cleanse my mind of the pressures that people are trying to heap on me Picture Quote #1

With regard to performance, commitment, effort, dedication, there is no middle ground. Or you do something very well or not at all Picture Quote #1

Progress is built, in effect, upon the foundations of necessary failure. That is the essential paradox of expert performance Picture Quote #1

If you try to improve the performance of a system of people, machines, and procedures by setting numerical goals for the improvement of individual parts of the system, the system will defeat your efforts and you will pay a price where you least expect it Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen how much effort has to go into a tour, the performance and also how to look after yourself, not just physically, but mentally too Picture Quote #1

I don’t say that I never feel fear before a performance, but I have learned to channel it Picture Quote #1

Whether you are a writer or an actor or a stage manager, you are trying to express the complications of life through a shared enterprise. That’s what theatre was, always. And live performance shares that with an audience in a specific compact: the play is unfinished unless it has an audience, and they are as important as everyone else Picture Quote #1

Education in our family was not merely emphasized, it was our raison d’etre... In this family of accomplished scholars, I was to become the academic black sheep. I performed adequately at high school, but in comparison to my older brother, who set the record for the highest cumulative average for our high school, my performance was decidedly mediocre Picture Quote #1

Sport doesn’t know barriers, really. You are judged on your performance... how far you can jump, how fast you can run, how well you can hit a tennis ball Picture Quote #1

I go to the theatre expecting to have a good time. I want each play and performance to take me somewhere. Naturally, this doesn’t always happen Picture Quote #1

You have to seek the simplest implementation of a problem solution in order to know when you’ve reached your limit in that regard. Then it’s easy to make tradeoffs, to back off a little, for performance reasons. You can simplify and simplify and simplify yet still find other incredible ways to simplify further Picture Quote #1

Performance for another in no way signals the inferiority of the performer to the one for whom the performance is intended Picture Quote #1

I think that theater is a unique way to communicate with people as they gather together with other people they may not even know. It creates a sense of shared community for the time of the performance that hopefully carries over into other aspects of the audience’s life because they have shared this experience together Picture Quote #1

Salaries and wages must reflect the reality of the enterprise’s economic performance; deviations from the planned performance should be reflected in pay Picture Quote #1

I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life Picture Quote #1

No one tells you what to do if you completely flop at the beginning of a performance Picture Quote #1

I love stage actors. There’s something special about all people who have to do a performance eight shows a week, and musical people, especially, are so much fun Picture Quote #1

I don’t care what reviewers think. If somebody hates a performance of mine, I kind of get a kick out of it. It amuses me when critics take something so irrelevant as a movie so seriously Picture Quote #1

I think every good song tells a story, as ambiguous and vague as it may be. And if you know what a song is talking about, it can only help your performance Picture Quote #1

Each performance and each film is what it is. It’s right and belongs within that moment. You look at it and try to make it fit your particular part of your character and your particular film Picture Quote #1

I love storytelling and I love just relating directly to an audience. That’s why we do theatre, it’s because we love contact with the audience. We love the fact that the audience will change us. The way the audience responds makes us change our performance Picture Quote #1

A big fear of working with an actor that’s never been a lead in a film before is that you’re going to have to work really hard to pull a performance out of her Picture Quote #1

I love doing fiction. I love doing performance films and I love doing documentaries that don’t have music. I love to shoot and I love to shoot things I’m enthusiastic about Picture Quote #1
